Sweathog Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I know its not perfect so please give some helpful tips, also this is with the current prospect pool this might very well change in the future (feel free to add your own line up suggestions) 1. Baertschi-McCann-Virtanen 2. Shinkaruk-Horvat-Boeser 3. Kenins-Cassels-Vey 4. Blomstrand-Gaunce-Grenier Clendening-Corrado Subban-Brisebois Stewart/Tryamkin-Pedan Markstrom Demko (should be challenging for #1 goalie) Didn't they recently make Stewart a forward?

elvis15 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 You can't even predict a lineup 8 years from now with so many drafts and ufa summers in between. I've never quoted one of your posts, but this one is basically the reason why this thread is futile. If you want to play a game of predicting a future lineup using only current prospects and young players, sure, but if you want to try and be realistic then there's no point. We could be drafting significant talent in the next 3-5 years (and beyond) that could be playing in 8 years time. Also, we could be trading current pieces - even prospects you might have pencilled in - for other players and signing UFAs as well. Then there's the success rate of prospects actually making an impact at the NHL and predicting that far ahead is very much a crapshoot. Having said that, I could point out how Demko would be the starter and Markstrom likely gone, how Stewart has been switched to forward, how you've missed players like Hutton and how you've forgotten about some of the prospects draft this year who could supplant some of our more marginal talent from previous years you've included. But what does it really matter in a thread this subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I predict in eight years that at least 3,000 more prediction topics will litter the CDC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharnhayre Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 So OP, you are pretty much saying that there will be no transactions made by our management for the next 8 years regarding free agent signings? Also, I sure hope that Demko is starting by then otherwise that would be terrible. I would predict that we will have some new draft picks who will crack roster spots within the next 8 years, picks that we haven't even made yet. So I find this roster for our team 8 years from now quite unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbdoubleu Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Imagine answering this thread in 2008.... Sedin-Sedin-Burrows Raymond-Kesler-Grabner Hansen-Hodgson-Shirokov Rypien-Bolduc-Bernier Bourdon-Edler Bieksa-O'Brien Vaananen-Ohlund/Mitchell Luongo. So I'd be surprised if 4 or 5 guys who are on/or close to being on the team now, will still be around in 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCammer Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Whaaaaaat? Is the point of this? There is no way that anyone could guess an even remotely close roster that far in the future...just silly. This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeydude474 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 In eight years marky will be a backup or out of the team To me, this looks like the line up of a team that is going to have a lot of problems producing offence consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleShield Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Shinkaruk Patrick Virtanen Bärtschi Horvat ? Sedin Sedin Bonino Kenins Cassels ? Chychrun Tanev ? Corrado Edler Clendenning ? Tryamkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 You can't even predict a lineup 8 years from now with so many drafts and ufa summers in between. To put things in perspective, let's look at where things were 8 years ago -- in the summer before the 2007-08 season. The first and second round picks for the previous 4 years (2004, 05, 06, and 07) were: Schneider, Bourdon, Raymond, Grabner, White and Ellington. None of those 6 players are on the team now. The only players who played any games for the Canucks in 07-08 who are still on the team are the Sedins, Edler, Hansen, and Burrows. And most people would not have expected Hansen and Burrows to still be around 8 years later. This is five guys. The guys who looked like they who would be around for a long time included Kesler, Bieksa, Luongo, Taylor Pyatt, Willie Mitchell, and Mason Raymond. They are all gone now, and several have been gone for a long time. Of the 21 guys listed by the OP it would be very surprising if as many as 7 are still on the team 8 years from now. Six would be a lot. A more likely number is five. If I had to pick 5 guys currently in the system who I think will be on the team in 8 years my candidates would be Horvat, Demko, Tanev, McCann, and Virtanen -- pretty much in that order.

To take it another step, of the 23 players that will apparently be on the Canucks in 2015-16, only those 5 James named were in the Canucks' system in 2007. Projecting that far in advance is pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
